Ricky Reboot Dean Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I have an Alpine Type E rated at 750 watts peak. It is a 12" sub. I have a Pioneer 800 watt amp to go with it and I have set the gain to just before distortion on a 40Hz note. It is in a Kicker box with a tuning of 40Hz. I have the Hz cut on the amp set down at 40hz. I like to play my lows. What do you like your subs to play at a max note? I know some people like them to play a full 20-20K range. I know some like to play only a 20-200 range. I know of one guy who has a 12" set at 30Hz limit. I was just wondering what you guys would think.Extra info:It is "ghetto" rigged in a home via. computer power supply. I have towers that are rated at 500 watts peak on a 500 watt per channel amp. They play as low as the 12" giving that they are 1000 watt clarion 10" subs. Everything works 100% fine and nothing ever clips. It is wired in with RCA through a set of splitters I have from my computer. It bumps hard and knocks the wind out of you if you move to a certain spot. But this is all extra info... And most people are going to be against the whole Car Amp and Sub in a home idea but, don't hate until you hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockFord_Expedition Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Max ratings mean nothing. RMS/continuous power handling rating os subwoofer is what you match up with an amps continuous RMS output. So tell me more about these people you know that like their subs to play from 20hz to 20kHZ.....

audiofanaticz Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 20,000hz out of a subwoofer. That's cute since most monoblock amplifiers only have an output of 10hz to 300hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 ^ Lol, so funny Anyways I like a mid 20-60 or 80hz range. Kinda depends on the door speakers I have. If they can keep up all the way down to 60hz then the sub gets crossed ay about 60hz with a steep slope. Then the doors at 80hz with a small slope. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
